Spicy Chicken, Sauteed Chickpeas, Sea Salt Cavolo nero and so much more Nourish Bowls | Savoury

These bowls are so delicious, nutritious and simple to make.

These bowls are for me a reminder of summer holidays spent in countries near the Meditteranean sea, with all the garlic and olive oil used in this recipe but also the use of the salty cavolo nero infused with the garlic and olive oil, reminding me of the algae in the sea. With all the fresh ingredients but also the warm spices and the creamy hummus and avocado at the end, these nourish bowls are so good.

They have a lot of preparations but they're all a question of putting the ingredients in a bowl and mixing. This is a great way to make the preparation of your lunch in advance and meal prep. You don't need to do all the parts of the bowl in this recipe, you can change it to what you want to eat. This goes for everything in the recipe, choose what spices you want to marinade your ingredients in and choose what raw veggies you want to have.
